Edited for Modern Readers, These Wartime Sermons from John Owen Explore God's Judgment and Sovereignty
Regarded as one of the greatest theologians in history, 17th-century pastor John Owen wrote extensively on holiness, Scripture, the Trinity, missions, and ecclesiology. His classic works--which have inspired Christian thinkers including Charles Spurgeon, J. I. Packer, and John Piper--remain influential, but until now haven't been offered in an easy-to-read collection.
The Complete Works of John Owen is a 40-volume project that brings together all of Owen's original theological writing, reformatted for modern readers. Volume 18 includes 5 sermons that Owen delivered at a time of civil war, addressing matters such as providence and toleration. Together they outline his vision for a lasting settlement for both church and state. With extensive introductions by editor Martyn C. Cowan, this volume also includes outlines, footnotes, and other supporting resources.
